Garlic has meant many things to different cultures throughout the generations. It's been seen as a miracle cure-all and the secret to immortality, but also been seen as disgusting or even toxic. Garlic's particular smell has been well-noted throughout human history. While some learn to ignore it or even like it, others find it unbearable. Garlic is a traditional staple in many cultures' cuisines. China, Russia, Italy, India, Korea, and France are some of the many countries that have a long history with the aromatic. In others such as Japan and Britain, garlic is traditionally looked down upon with disdain. Even within cultures, views on garlic can differ, especially between the different social classes. For example, while ancient Roman soldiers and poor civilians often used garlic, the upper class were prone to loathing it. This has caused garlic and garlicky dishes to become stock Foreign Queasine in many countries. "Garlic eater" has been an insult that dates back at least 2000 years. It can be a general insult, a classist euphemism for the lower class, or even an ethnic slur (often against Jewish or Italian people). Garlic is referenced in all sorts of folklore and mythology. It has a history of being used for charms of all sorts and is known for being able to repel or even defeat all types of demons, ghosts, and monsters (often due to its smell). Vampires Hate Garlic is the most well-known example of this. It is only in the 20th century that garlic began to become popular worldwide. In the 1920s it gained some popularity in England and America when salads became popular. Rubbing salad bowls with garlic was seen as a way of adding extra flavour to the salad. It however wasn't until the 1950s and 1960s that garlic became socially acceptable in general. American chefs such as Julia Child and British chefs such as Elizabeth David brought garlic to the mainstream and made it popular amongst cultures that traditionally loathed it. Despite this, jokes about it still exist, though most are about its horrible smell more than anything. People who enjoy the taste of garlic do have something to rejoice about though; Garlic is rich in sulfur, an important element used by the body in proteins of a wide variety of purposes and sizes. Sub-trope to Stock "Yuck!". |

In Rose is Rose, whenever someone has eaten garlic, their breath is portrayed with skulls and everyone is repulsed by it. This is played with in one strip, where Rose laments how wonderful garlic bread smells while it's baking only to turn into a nauseating miasma after someone eats it. | |

Discworld generally portrays garlic as great (the fact it's an abomination to the god Nuggan is an early sign that Nuggan is a petty sadist), but there are limits, and they mostly involve Nanny Ogg: In Witches Abroad, Nanny's enthusiasm for the garlic sausage served at an Ãœberwald inn leads to the other two witches quickly requesting separate rooms. In Carpe Jugulum, Nanny has a cunning ploy to expose the vampires at the wedding feast by serving hors d'oeuvres that consist entirely of garlic and nothing else. |

In Plants vs. Zombies, Garlic is apparently abhorrent enough to disgust even zombies. Zombies who took a bite of Garlic will make a disgusted face and move to other lanes afterwards. In the second game, Garlic's Plant Food ability is breathing a pungent smell that affects the entire lane. All zombies in the range will switch lanes. In Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes, any zombie attacking Garlic is forced to move one lane to the left unless they're Vimpire or Ancient Vimpire, who get instantly destroyed. | |

Spice and Wolf: While on a trip through a winter set land, Lawrence and company stop at a waystation to rest. There is much complaining about the smell from the heavy amounts of garlic the other travelers are using to mask the low quality of their ingredients. There's also much rejoicing at the amazing food their guide has prepared. It is then revealed that the secret ingredient to this delicious meal is just a more restrained use of garlic and a bit more care while preparing the ingredients. | |
